The theoretical highest is a rough approximation if a player had every extended info block flagged to the maximum, meaning 256 worst case hitmarks, headbars, spotanims, and so on. The real maximum comes to somewhere in the 7,000-8,000 range, however for some head-room and not having to recompute this all the time, we stick with a 10 kilobyte limitation. This limitation is more than enough in just about every scenario in real life. For the longest time, the actual total limitation was only 5 kilobytes for the entire player info packet, so limiting most of it to be 30kb or less is still a huge improvement and should cover almost all realistic scenarios.
